Jason,
Your posting was the first one I saw. Your statement is 100% correct.
On the other hand, if you put an outstanding Perl programmer up against
an equally outstanding C programmer, the C programmer's code will run
loops around the Perl programmer. The only question is: How much more
time will it take the C program to write the code? Does the time
justify the speed?
I am a C/C++ programmer and love it for the power and the speed, but...
I am working on putting together a web site. I have desided to learn
Perl because I have desided that the time to do it right in C/C++ just
isn't worth it.
Every language has it use, the truly knowledgeable understand when to
use each language:)
